It isn't like the regular DDOs you find with the elongated 9, and the fat tail. I'm not saying this is doubling, just curious what caused it for future purposes, just so I don't run into this again thinking something else caused it. My guess is circulation or a Very Late Die State. Edited by SilverCents 06/02/2020 9:23 pm Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/02/2020 10:07 pm But this coin may have been a DDO, when it was struck? Note the verticals on the right side of the '44'. They are angled. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/02/2020 10:22 pm But posting your coin helped others to see where to look also for a DDO on that year. ("1944") Report this Post to the Staff
